The "bottle brush": a new concept for uncemented anchorage of bone implants. Preliminary mechanical and biomechanical studies

Scand J Plast Reconstr Surg Hand Surg. 1995 Sep;29(3):221-6. doi: 10.3109/02844319509050130.

Abstract

We present a new concept for bone of implants, the "bottle brush". It may be suitable for joint prostheses, dental or percutaneous implants, or other devices fixed into bone. Mechanical pullout studies in artificial brass cavities of different sizes and shapes and implantation studies in 20 rabbits, have been successfully carried out. Further experimental and clinical studies are in progress.
